It is beautiful! The rock color exactly matched the advertised picture of the fireplace. It was important to us that it match as we are matching it up against a tile backdrop.  The workmanship is superb and the unit is very sturdy. With two of us putting the fireplace together, it was quick and easy.  The flame is realistic and the controls work well.  You can hear the heater fan but it's not distracting.  We have been looking for a fireplace in numerous retail stores and this is by far the best we've ever seen.
